Feige stretched out his arms into the air, and the vast underground space of the entire training ground was filled with magical runes. Have you ever seen a school of bats flying in a cave? Have you ever seen a school of fish gather in the ocean to hide from predators? Have you ever seen a torrential rain like a waterfall falling from the sky and flying from side to side, forming layers of ripples? This is what the rune circle looks like in front of Feiqi's eyes.

"Each magic rune is enhanced by my soul power, and then they will feed the soul power back - this is the ability of the higher level devils. Feiqi said to the old man, "When the strengthened runes return, they will allow me to exert enough influence on my soul so that I can control my soul." ”

Everyone has the instinct to protect themselves, and the soul is a well-guarded part. Feige can inflict damage on the souls of other creatures with the claws of the Mind Spectator, but cannot change his own soul at all. All spells, abilities, and actions start from the soul, and here borrow the power of "changing the world". Feige couldn't deceive his soul in any way, and if he wanted to see his soul and change its state, the soul's self-preservation instinct would stop doing so.

But the soul is not "intelligent", first release the power, delay it for a while, let them form an echo, and use the echo to carry the spell that changes the soul, and then you can cast spells on your own soul. If it weren't for the fact that all the demons accumulated in the fortress were used as magic test materials, and if it weren't for the ruthless torture and destruction of so many souls, Feige would never have been able to complete this spell.

"Soul Echo!"

As the magic runes poured back into his body, Feige felt himself being poured from his head in a pouring rain. This heart-piercing coldness really penetrates the heart, and all his consciousness and senses have lost their sense of the outside world, and then he falls and falls vigorously, and keeps descending without any support. "It was a feeling of fear, in fact my feet were still pinned to the cave of hell, and my body was not shaken at all. Soul, do not deceive yourself. ”

The feeling of falling stopped, but the surroundings were still empty. This feeling does not come from the senses of sight, hearing, touch, etc., but is just a kind of feedback from the mind. In the world of the soul, emotions are the senses and thoughts are the body. Feige slowly opened his "eyes", and the world of souls unfolded in front of him.

He was in a dark world, with nothingness all around and under his feet, and a faint and unstable light source overhead. Raising his head, the heavy rain formed by the magic runes was still pouring, and the thunder of mana was tumbling inside the heavy rain clouds. The rain curtain disappeared more than a dozen meters above his head, and the faint light of mana thunder shone on Feiqi's skin.

He looked down at himself, the appearance of a human form, a loose mage robe covered his naked body, and the cuffs of the robe were very wide, this was not the cut form of the Yongli Continent. A sleeping black cat, embroidered on its wide sleeves, its long tail swaying slightly behind its curled back.

"The other sleeve...... By the way, it's really a cat teasing stick, even though it's only the part of the top gem, but this one is so familiar that you don't have to look at the whole to recognize it. Well, the way I am now is the self-awareness of my soul, the magic pet is an extension of my soul, and the staff is an extension that I made in the essentia of the Kingdom of God with the power of my soul, and it is also an extension, so both of them are on me. If the runic rain overhead is the soul appearance of the magic matrix, then where is the pit sword, what about the magic seal and the little angel of the holy light?"

Maybe these three are not so deeply related to Feige's soul, so they can't be presented in him in some way, after all, he is here for the first time, and he has gone deep into the soul. When the runic rain above his head stops, and the "Soul Echo" spell ends, he will inevitably leave from here. So, time is limited, so let's hurry. But how?

"There was a period of time when I felt a clear fall, and for a moment I felt like a spatial teleportation, but I didn't come to a certain 'space' because of this, and all this around me was not a 'somewhere', but the effect of the soul echo spell. Everything I could feel was the soul fire that was trying to tell me, and then presented it in the way I was used to. Therefore, what can appear in this place should only be closely related to the soul. ”

There was a round of applause in the dark void, and this narcissism and boasting made Feige a little embarrassed. But he also understood how to interact with the spirit world. The question he thought of would become part of the soul echo spell, which would be launched and returned to the soul, and then the soul could answer. He is the soul, the soul is him, but like the self through a mirror, one question and the other answer.

"Where are the many forms of Desire?"

A flash of lightning exploded overhead, and a moment later there was a rumbling of thunder. The moment the thunder stopped, a ground paved with red coal-fired appeared around Feiqi. It appeared without warning, and it didn't hurt Feiqi in the slightest. In this setting, a symbol of the inferno of fire, seven unlit stakes stand in front of Feige.

Each stake was burned to the stake with a body tied to a large number of flowers in chains of cold iron. The Blazing Sky God's maid body, the male double black wing standard desire demon, the black and white wing hybrid form, the human form, and the mind demon form, these five are the five lust forms that Fei Qi created for himself. But on the sixth pillar was a bad demon, and on the seventh pillar was a charred humanoid corpse.

The Mind Twister's pillar of burning flame was blazing, and the black pillar of smoke flew into the air with white ashes, rushing into the rune rain. Fei Qi understood at a glance that his outer body was using the Mind Turning Demon form, so the flames and pillars of smoke were all manifestations of the use of this form. If he changes form, it will be another burn at the stake.

On the sixth pillar was a weak, weak, physically disabled demon. Its features are blurred, its limbs are glued to its bloated body, and it seems unable to lift or detach itself, so it cannot function as a limb - it is like a half-finished product. Feige understood. When he transformed himself into a devil, there was a time when he almost turned into an inferior demon, but it was the Pit God Sword that descended with the power of divine thunder, and coupled with the title of saint, he finally transformed into a demon of lust as a fallen angel. And this bad demon tied to the pillar is the trace left by the incomplete transformation.

The charred black humanoid corpse on the seventh pillar was a bit more odd, and Fei Qi couldn't figure out how it came about. He looked closer and saw that the stake was burning—though the flame was very faint, several times smaller than a candle. The corpse was in the constant scorching of a faint white translucent flame.

White, Fei Qi thought of the old man with a white beard and white hair, and the color of the divine power that surrounded the soul in the middle was also white, so this could be an old man? If you have any questions, you have to ask them, so Fei Qi asked: "Is the old man in the soul?" If he is, bring him over. ”

Lightning flashed overhead, and a moment later thunder rumbled. Lightning is the soul turned into a spell and is launched, thunder is the soul echo spell that hits the wave of the soul on guard, and the white-bearded old man who appears next to him is the soul's answer to Feiqi. Unlike the coal-burning hell and the stake, Old Man does not appear out of thin air, but consists of a white flame burning on the corpse of the seventh stake, and even though standing next to Feiqi, he is connected to the stake by a line of fire.

"That's it. The seventh stake was the form of a god doppelganger that Asmodeirs had shoehorned into. But what is this charred humanoid corpse? Could it be the corpse of an old man?"

"No, that's not my body. My body should still be imprisoned in the ninth layer of hell, under the care of that One. ”

As soon as the white flame old man beside him spoke, Fei Qi was startled, and the entire coal-burning hell trembled violently a few times. "Wait a minute, are you the soul of the old man, or the knowledge of the old man?"

"All of them, each with a part. The old man beside him said: "What is outside and inside the soul is me, and I still have a part in the hands of the demon king, trapped in my body. Originally, the Demon King wanted to divide me into three parts, two of which should be combined to crush your soul. ”

"Thank you for keeping my soul, and I know that you have done a lot of damage to yourself in order to protect my soul. ”

"It's all a mutually beneficial thing, it's an acceptable loss to keep your soul and reduce your divine power a little. And if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what the world in my soul would look like. ”

Fei Qi was a little puzzled: "You are a god, and you can use many necromancy spells to manipulate the soul, but you don't know what the soul looks like?"

"If you don't come in, there's no outside force here to wake me up, and I'll never be conscious. Being able to see this scene has solved many doubts in my heart, and I am very satisfied. The only regret is that this knowledge cannot be passed on to other me. ”

"Can you tell me why? I can't take what I see here outside?"

"Oh, you're not affected, you've come in from the outside, and you won't forget anything when you go out. The old man looked at Fei Qi with a smile: "Think about it carefully, this is your spell, you can definitely figure it out." ”

Since it had something to do with spells, Fei Qi pondered, and when he opened his eyes again after a while, the confusion was obviously gone, and he smiled at the old man. In Feiqi's soul, there is also an individual who represents "Feiqi", just like this "Flame Old Man". This doppelganger within the soul is only a symbol of the independence of consciousness at the soul level, and does not have the ability to independently control consciousness, knowledge, and body, and cannot reach the outside of the soul. Therefore, even if the old man is restored to his original state, the inside of the soul cannot reach the outside of the soul, so knowledge and insight cannot be transmitted.

And Feige is different. His soul echo spell sees his soul as a vehicle and then projects sensory consciousness into it. In short, Feige uses the principle of puppet vision to take over the "self" within the soul, generating knowledge and memories that are sent directly to the mind outside the soul.

"If I don't come in, these ......" Feige asked, pointing to the stake, "Are these non-existent?"

"It exists, but it doesn't manifest, it's completely empty. The old man said: "The soul will only radiate power to the outside, and the inside can be considered nothing, can you understand?"

"I understand. These things inside the soul exist because of my observations. Fei Qi looked at the old man and smiled slightly: "I understand." Within the soul, the active master of everything. Your existence and your thinking are also the result of my observations, and they are inspired by my consciousness, so what you think, as long as I have the will, I can immediately take it and make myself understand. ”

"Then think about it, what would happen if you forced yourself to take over my thoughts and knowledge all at once?"

"With so much divine power pouring in, I couldn't think for myself at all, and I couldn't react. I know you're trying to explain that the mage who stole the power was the result of his own mistakes and misconduct. Now I'll admit it's a possibility, but the only way to know for sure is to see what the spell he was using at the time looked like. Feige shook his head, "No, I don't want to waste time on this kind of thing. ”

He took a step forward, and the stake came to him. Feige reached out and stroked the face of the charred corpse. "You say it's not your body, so who is this? Even if the half-finished bad demon has an image, this must be there. I demand, show me my true colors!"

Black skin debris turned into flying dust, peeling off layers from above the corpse, revealing a human face from below. At this moment, not only Fei Qi, but even the old man next to him gasped. Underneath the black charred skin was none other than Asmodeirs.

It was a human face with dark red skin and two sharp horns on its forehead, and although its eyes were closed and its lips were locked, it still gave people a sense of terror and intimidation. Fitch was glad that it hadn't woken up like the old man, and quickly removed his hand, and the black charred shell enveloped Asmodeurs again, turning it into a charred corpse again.

"At least I know that this seventh form is Asmodeirs himself. When I was chasing you, I saw a lot of demon kings with this image, which means that this appearance is a kind of doppelganger form of his. The doppelganger of the Demon King is much more advanced than the form of the Desire Demon, and can act multiple times at the same time, and the power of each is extremely powerful. Fei Qi said to the old man: "After all, you are a god, and divine power also has a demand for carriers, so his best container is his own doppelganger." He threw this doppelganger in, forcibly added a status to me, and hid it. If I hadn't come in and see, I would never have known the secret. ”

Feige's gaze moved back and forth between the Bad Demon and the Scorched Corpse. "If I can use the Inferior Form, then I can use Asmodeirs...... Demon King form. No. If he were to be very cautious and plant some traps in this clone, any reckless action on my part would be very costly. ”

"The most important information I know today is that the old man was stuffed into one of my states and then hidden in his soul. As long as I can move out of this state of my soul, I will be able to get out of my current predicament. ”

"The key is still in the Painted Leather Book, and the method that Asmodeirs used on me is a certain part of the series of achievements of the Painted Leather Book, and if you want to crack it, you have to start from here. Hey, it's funny, there's only one part, and I'm trying to crack the whole, why is this challenge so exciting?"

The rune rain in the sky began to weaken, the dark clouds gradually faded, and the space within the soul became brighter and brighter, indicating that the soul echo spell was coming to an end. Fei Qi thought about it, thinking can be put outside, he still has some curiosity about the soul space. So, with a wave of his hand, he made the stake disappear.

"Show me the connection between the soul and the outside world. ”

Lightning lit up.
